Apple Cake Tips
What kind of apples can you use to make this apple cake recipe?
Granny Smith are a super classic choice for most desserts because they hold up nicely when baked, and they’re easy to find year-round. However, if you’re worried about Granny Smith being too tart, you can always mix them with a sweeter apple variety or go for a Braeburn instead! Check out more of the

Should you use light or dark brown sugar to make the sauce for this apple cake recipe?
Light and dark brown sugar are generally interchangeable in most recipes, but if you want a little bit bolder of a flavor, go for dark.
What else can you serve with apple cake?
Serve this apple cake recipe a la mode with a scoop of
vanilla ice cream! You could also switch it up with different ice cream flavors such as caramel or butter pecan. If you want to level up your dessert, a dollop of
bourbon whipped cream would do the trick, too! If you loved this apple cake recipe, check out more of our
